I have a few of these and I noticed that there are three different colors. Light gray, dark gray and black. Does anyone know what is correct for which years. My 76, 914 has the dark gray color. Early cars have black and Jeff Bowslby's website says 1974 LE cars " Light grey headlight relay covers" Can anyone else shed more light on this?

CORRECTION:

OKAY - NEVERMIND! Tom was having a "Senior Moment"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

I was thinking of "Headlight Surrounds" (covers) - so my info below applies to that.

I must've missed the "relay covers" in my quick reading of the OP.

My early 73 2L 8/31/72 build date (Chassis Code) has original black Headlight RELAY Covers (sorry, but mine are in storage as I've stripped the trunk already for resto work, so no pic).

.

FOR PLASTIC HEADLIGHT SURROUND COLORS:

PM to double check grey with Jeff Bowlsby on here. He's the LE guru! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

70-73 were ivory or off-white - not black.

74-76 were black.


More info here, & other what by what year at he other sections:

www.p914.com/p914_lenses.htm

dot com seems to be down right now, as is dot net.

try here for now:

http://www.p914.org/p914_lenses.htm

http://www.p914.org/

.... but it shows headlights as incomplete for .org - so yo may have to wait for .com

He has p914 at .com, .net, & .org for just this problem (.net is also not working now).
